Subject: nl80211: fix sched scan netlink socket owner destruction
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 753aacfd2e95df6a0caf23c03dc309020765bea9 upstream.
A single netlink socket might own multiple interfaces *and* a
scheduled scan request (which might belong to another interface),
so when it goes away both may need to be destroyed.
Remove the schedule_scan_stop indirection to fix this - it's only
needed for interface destruction because of the way this works
right now, with a single work taking care of all interfaces.
Fixes: 93a1e86ce10e4 ("nl80211: Stop scheduled scan if netlink client disappears")
